The subject matter of this paper concerns the paraxial approximation for the transport of charged particles. We focus on the magnetic confinement properties of charged particle beams. The collisions between particles are taken into account through the Boltzmann kernel. We derive the magnetic high field limit and we emphasize the main properties of the averaged Boltzmann collision kernel, together with its equilibria.
Keywords: Particle beams, Boltzmann equation, finite Larmor radius regime, $H$-theorem..
